APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There is an ant script called
  WAS_HOME/properties/postinstall/actions/os400PropertiesSetup.ant
  which updates the WAS_ROOT variable in the WAS_HOME/setupCmdline
  script and it is called at interim fix uninstall time or it can
  be called multiple times. There is a line:
  
  replace file="${WAS_HOME_CANONICAL}/bin/setupCmdLine"
  token="WAS_ROOT="  value="WAS_ROOT=${WAS_HOME_CANONICAL}"/>
  
  
  The above line can replace WAS_ROOT=/bla with
  WAS_ROOT=/bla/bla if called twice. The setupCmdLine template
  starts with WAS_ROOT=
  

Local fix

• Edit the WAS_HOME/bin/setupCmdLine and replace the incorrect
  WAS_ROOT

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The setupCmdLine script is corrupted    *
  *                      after uninstalling an interim fix       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  After uninstalling an interim fix, the setupCmdLine script
  was modified by the configuration script
  os400PropertiesSetup.ant incorrectly.  The IBM WebSphere
  Application installation location variable was changed
  to an invalid installation location path in the setupCmdLine
  script.
  

Problem conclusion

• The configuration script os400PropertiesSetup.ant is fixed and
  it will update the setupCmdLine script correctly after
  uninstalling an interim fix.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.12 and 8.5.5.8.  Please refer to the
